Mars
Pollyanna Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Take me away from all of these
Empty souls surrounding me
Shake me and now I'm crying cause

I don't wanna be
I don't want to be near you
Why is everyone staring right at me
Take me home please I don't know where I am
A bunch of kids their parents rich and I feel so weird

Leaving here won't be half as bad
Too busy seeing red I looked past the flags
I need to be alone so I can plan for this
Too faded to focus or stand like this

How the fuck did I end up here
Everyone's so mean I wanna disappear
Now I'm stuck alone in my own head
With everyone here please just

Take me
Away from all of these
Empty souls surrounding me
Shake me
And now I'm crying cause I just hate myself when I'm with you

I don't wanna lie
But I shouldn't be near you
I feel like everybody's laughing at me
I came home and it only got worse from here
Cause I'm alone no matter what

I'm not surprised that it feels like this all the time
If I could lie I'd say cheese sit back and smile
So I'll take whatever to heal this pain
Cause now I'm stuck here so please just

Take me
Away from all of these
Empty souls surrounding me
Shake me
And now I'm crying cause I just hate myself when I'm here
Take me
Away from all of these
Empty souls surrounding me
Break free
Cause now I'm crying that I feel so alone when I'm with you

If I am quiet
It's not the reason that you think
I am trying
It's too easy to be deceived
If you can't buy it
To the dreams that I believe
Then we could call it even

Take me away from all of these
Empty souls surrounding me break me
And now I'm crying so break me free

Take me
Away from all of these
Empty souls surrounding me
Shake me
And now I'm crying cause I just hate myself when I'm here
Take me
Away from all of these
Empty souls surrounding me




Break free
Cause now I'm crying that I feel so alone I'm so alone when I'm with you

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Pollyanna's song "Mars" convey a sense of alienation and disorientation, as the singer finds herself in a place where she doesn't belong and surrounded by people who she perceives as empty and mean. She longs to be taken away from this environment, to be free from the pressure and judgment that she feels. The line "I just hate myself when I'm with you" suggests that there may be a specific person or group of people who are causing the singer to feel this way, and that she needs to distance herself from them in order to regain her sense of self.


Throughout the song, there are references to feeling like an outsider and not fitting in. The line "A bunch of kids their parents rich and I feel so weird" implies that the singer is from a different background than those around her, and that this is contributing to her discomfort. In the second verse, she sings "I feel like everybody's laughing at me", suggesting that she is extremely self-conscious in this environment and believes that others are judging her.


Despite the feelings of sadness and isolation expressed in the song, there is also a sense of resilience and determination. The repeated plea to be taken away from this place suggests that the singer is actively seeking a way out, and the last line "break free" conveys a sense of empowerment and agency.
